Abstract
This thesis examines the effect of attack velocity on the outcome of Lanchester- type engagements between forces with range dependent kill-rates. Range dependent (linear and quadratic) kill-rates are considered, and analytic solutions to Lanchester- type equations are utilized in this study. By varying the attack velocity, the effects on terminal force strengths are investigated for the case when an attacking force has the initial fighting strength superiority, and for the case when a defending force has the initial fighting strength superiority.

    Quantifying the value of reconnaissance using Lanchesterian type equations 

    Johnson, Michael Jay. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-03);
    This paper presents a method to quantify the value of reconnaissance for both direct and indirect fire weapons for the defense-in-sector battle scenario. The Lanchester area fire model and the Helmbold equations were ...

    Modeling the effects of cyber operations on kinetic battles 

    Yildiz, Fatih (Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06);
    This thesis considers the effects of cyber operations on kinetic warfare, by exploring and building on two recently proposed extensions to traditional Lanchester models of combat. In one model, we consider instantaneous ...
